A millenial, Krystie Yandoli, explaining progression into disappointment
Wait until QE slows, then fails, in holding up the increases in real estate values, and the Obamanoids try to blame Bush for the empty checkbook and say ... 'so sorry, but the rapacious evil profit seeking businessmen, who are refusing to hire, are forcing us to both cut unemployment compensation to 50% of current values and restrict it to 26 weeks'
What will it take Krystie, before you realize the purpose of the govt is not to pursue lofty goals, but to be invisible while you pursue yours?

"I voted for Obama in 2008 because I was enchanted by his rhetoric.”
From the Nation
A millenial, Krystie Yandoli, explaining progression into disappointment
I wanted a president who believed in the same issues that I did, who thought LGBT rights and racial equality weren’t just important but essential. I was tired of old white men making decisions for millions of people who didn’t have their same privileges. I wanted a president who was the polar opposite of George W. Bush, someone who would get us out of imperialist conflicts in the Middle East masquerading as war.The only thing I can say, being in my 60's and in high school when the Gulf of Tonkin occurred, is "YO FOO"
I wanted Barack Obama to be my president. I knocked on doors with a friend onSuper Tuesday, and handed out pamphlets about the former senator from Illinois in a predominantly conservative neighborhood. I read his memoir on my spring break in high school. I devoured all his speeches on television and YouTube. Then, I voted accordingly. Obama’s campaign didn’t just inspire me to want change: he made me want to be apartof that change.
For many of us, what came after Obama’s campaign was disappointment after disappointment. Sure, the first bill signed into law under his presidency was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, a piece of legislation aimed at leveling the gender pay gap. But these kind of symbolic measures weren’t representative of the more radical ideologies Obama had, to me, once exhibited.Indeed, "YO FOO", and we now know why the Nation published this disapproval. Because it's to replace hope with FEAR. But Krystie, the distance you have to go, yet. You will have to go on without hope, and with true cynical disdain for politicians, and only then will you come to the realization that since all these people of any color who self seek to power are unpalatable, the smallest possible organization of these people is the best one.
With every day spent in the White House, the president’s bright-eyed idealism seemed to shift toward the same old politics of every man who came before him. In turn, my idealism shifted right along with his. Am I disappointed? Of course. Would I vote for him again? Absolutely.
Wait until QE slows, then fails, in holding up the increases in real estate values, and the Obamanoids try to blame Bush for the empty checkbook and say ... 'so sorry, but the rapacious evil profit seeking businessmen, who are refusing to hire, are forcing us to both cut unemployment compensation to 50% of current values and restrict it to 26 weeks'
